These days, erasing history is the left’s favorite pastime, because leftists understand the link between controlling the knowledge of history and controlling current events. Respecting Notre Dame’s past, acknowledging the religion and race of the folks who built it, mucks up the grand plan to create a multiracial Europe. Remember that viral story about how England’s “first humans” were black? Remember how it was covered again and again in the press? Remember when it was debunked? Probably not, because almost none of the initial breathless stories were updated or corrected. The phony “charcoal Cheddar Man” claim is necessary for the left’s narrative. “Why, England’s always been black! African immigration is simply folks comin’ back home.”
Defile a historic cathedral to promote multiculturalism, or defile some old bones for the same reason. To the left, it’s just another day at the office.
But let’s move away from ancient history. What’s fascinating is how leftists have mastered the art of erasing recent history.
yep. but much like the tiny back-page corrections on the NYT, all that 99% of readers will see and remember is the original erroneous story.
Some news sources did report it as being untrue, however like you corrrectly point out the initial story is often what is remembered rather than the later retaractions or scientific evidence against the initial story.
Agreed - the whole Chedder Man nonsense was embarrassing and science later proved it not to be true.
Did it? DNA profile showed most probably dark skinned, but not 100% certain. Those that had a problem with it just seized on the lack of certainty and ignored the probability. We just don’t know for certain either way, but hardly "proved not to be true".
